Reddit is trash. I got banned for hating on Nazis, they will bend to Trump, cut off porn and throw the ban hammer down. Reddit is only good for finding tech answers from the past. Everything else is trash.

Be careful with that. I went back in time and edited my posts to contain small errors to make them useless wastes of time for the reader and poison AI.
That just seems malicious to anyone who might find your answer and get increasingly frustrated by your incorrect advice.
That’s OK. Reddit later forced my account from my hands and I no longer have access to it. So it’s not my problem.
They decided to ban me but keep the posts. Their loss.
No, it's not your problem, it's the rest of ours (thanks for that), but it is your fault.
Well, I’m kind of stuck with it at this point. I appealed it and they never answered. Not much I can do. Oh well.

(just don't use reddit)
Oh well.
It makes reddit less helpful i dont want to be helpful if it helps reddit make a dime
yeah I left reddit completely and moved to lemmy. but search results still show reddit threads sometimes. so that particular thing is malicious to everyone and has very little to do with reddit.
its just shitty. a much better way to do it would be to edit the comment with an addendum to say how crap reddit is and there are alternatives with a link.
don't punish normal people who are desperate to find a solution to something.
Leaving your comments up contributes value to Reddit. Value you provided them before they fucked you. Much of Reddit's value is a giant repository of user-generated information, which they've turned around and monetized to enrich themselves. If you take them down, people will just have to find that information elsewhere. It sucks that they're no longer available for the public, but that's on Reddit, not the user who removed their comments.
You can repost all your valuable comments and solutions here and drive traffic to Lemmy instead.

I never got banned. I just left because the greedy little CEO is a liar that sacrificed the only thing that made the site good, 3rd party apps, on the alter of the almighty dollar during the API debacle.
To be honest the quality of posts, comments, and moderation policies had gone way down hill since at least 2020. The killing of 3rd party apps just gave me the motivation to finally leave

Wasn't that when they banned /r/chapotraphouse? 🤔
Reddit is a censorship hellhole.
The modlog is one of the greatest features of lemmy.
Fuck censorship.

Seems to depend massively on the sub though, most I am in will never see a right winger above -20 and constantly mocked at best.
Though some subs I've been banned from over there the reasons were as simple as "criticizing China and/or Russia" or "participating in a specific other sub"
The subs I hang around in are currently the same to right wingers (downvoted to oblivion) but that's partly because attempting to participate in a lot of lefty subs over there you get banned for talking about China in a negative way. The other subs aren't political so those ones aren't too bad.
Nice, but the only comment I see about Lemmy, is someone who can't comprehend that the domain "lemmy.world" exists and not "lemmy.com", because "that's what an internet address is to the average user".
God yeah, what a frustrating sentiment to see. Very common among people who won't give the fediverse any modicum of good faith engagement. "This is different from what people are used to and is therefore bad" instead of understanding that maybe there's a reason it's built that way.
lemmy.com does appear to work though (redirects to lemm.ee, not sure who hosts it)
While it's excellent that Lemmy is getting some attention out on the capitalist web, I'm not sure I'm personally interested in hearing about what is trending on Reddit in the Fediverse community - for me, Fedibridge seems like a great community specifically for that. But I might be a minority, not trying to be negativistic! :)
It's unfortunate that people still think Brave is a good privacy alternative. Ungoogled-Chromium is a better alternative but also unfortunately requires manual upkeep. The best alternative is to use Mull or LibreWolf currently and some form of abstraction if you're concerned about security as well.
Why is Brave bad?
Sketchy things happened in the past, that’s all I know. I simply don’t like it since it’s still chromium engine which wants to restrict Adblock
Edit: and I guess this now. https://lemmy.ml/post/26774594
That post is actually how I got here. This is my first Lemmy comment ever.
